Summary

TLDRIn a conversation about leadership, the speakers discuss the importance of leaders setting a clear vision that resonates with their team. They emphasize that while organizations often strive for a shared vision, it is crucial for the leader or leadership team to establish the vision. This vision should attract like-minded individuals who share the same beliefs and values, thereby simplifying team dynamics and goal achievement. The speakers argue against accommodating too many differing visions within a team, as it can create conflicts and hinder progress. They note that not all team members aspire to leadership roles or enjoy the pressure that comes with it, preferring instead to work within a well-defined framework. Therefore, leaders must recognize these differences and not impose their vision on every team member. Ultimately, a leader with a clear vision will naturally draw supportive and appropriate team members, fostering a harmonious and effective working environment.

Timeline

  • 00:00:00 - 00:06:55

    Leaders should establish a clear vision for their teams, as aligning this vision with personal values rather than accommodating all team members' diverse personal visions is crucial. Leaders like the speaker aim to impact lives through education and believe in attracting team members who resonate with their vision instead of changing or accommodating everyone. This approach simplifies team dynamics by attracting those who share a similar vision, even if the mission differs. It's understood that not everyone on a team seeks leadership or shares the same vision; some prefer to be team members without extra pressure. Therefore, leaders must focus on attracting like-minded individuals rather than expecting everyone to align perfectly.

  • 00:00:15
    black how can leaders then develop a
  • 00:00:18
    vision that resonates with the team
  • 00:00:20
    right yeah yeah because we are looking
  • 00:00:22
    at just now n was actually saying oh but
  • 00:00:25
    uh we have to make sure that when things
  • 00:00:27
    change you know uh the team members
  • 00:00:29
    still along with us and how can then do
  • 00:00:33
    we allow our team member to resonate
  • 00:00:35
    develop one that resonates with the team
  • 00:00:37
    for me as a leader I do it the other way
  • 00:00:40
    I Frankly Speaking I know a lot of times
  • 00:00:44
    nowadays the organization like to have
  • 00:00:45
    an aligned Vision but
  • 00:00:48
    somehow I always feel it's the other way
  • 00:00:52
    okay I always find that leaders should
  • 00:00:56
    set the
  • 00:00:57
    vision or if you want to have a team
  • 00:01:00
    that is the leadership team that few
  • 00:01:03
    people okay have that Vision come up
  • 00:01:07
    with a vision one I agree with you yeah
  • 00:01:09
    just want to agree with you yes don't
  • 00:01:11
    accommodate to the team members please
  • 00:01:15
    okay I I don't they call too many cook
  • 00:01:18
    spoil the soup right yes that's the
  • 00:01:21
    thing we can't please everybody and
  • 00:01:23
    everyone has a different Vision in their
  • 00:01:25
    lives right our job is not here to
  • 00:01:29
    change people
  • 00:01:30
    in terms of uh wanting to believe in our
  • 00:01:33
    vision I think it's very clear if I have
  • 00:01:35
    a certain vision for example I like to
  • 00:01:38
    impact people's life that's my personal
  • 00:01:40
    Vision through adult education so I I
  • 00:01:44
    want to motivate people to make sure
  • 00:01:46
    that every day they learn they have a
  • 00:01:49
    learning habit it is not about having
  • 00:01:51
    the highest qualification it is about
  • 00:01:54
    learning on a daily basis and proving a
  • 00:01:58
    1% of ourselves on a daily basis this is
  • 00:02:01
    what I believe in all right so if
  • 00:02:03
    there's the vision that I would like to
  • 00:02:05
    everyone to have the kind of a habit
  • 00:02:08
    then how do I impact people's lives
  • 00:02:11
    through various ways right in education
  • 00:02:14
    in maybe money management and now maybe
  • 00:02:17
    in Health Management and so on that's
  • 00:02:19
    what I believe in right so if I believe
  • 00:02:22
    in that I actually attract people that
  • 00:02:26
    believe in that as well so if people do
  • 00:02:28
    not believe in my view
  • 00:02:30
    Frankly Speaking they will not join me
  • 00:02:32
    as a as a follower they will not join my
  • 00:02:36
    organization it's okay and because if
  • 00:02:39
    the leader is very clear or and the
  • 00:02:41
    leadership team is very clear of their
  • 00:02:43
    Vision we will attract the right people
  • 00:02:47
    into our team that makes things so
  • 00:02:49
    simple right yeah so they will
  • 00:02:52
    definitely resonate yes how about
  • 00:02:55
    youi yeah anything I'm just now I agree
  • 00:02:58
    with you about the
  • 00:03:01
    um like you cannot have too many Vision
  • 00:03:04
    on the same team because it's we're
  • 00:03:06
    conflict and I think people
  • 00:03:09
    misunderstand about oh you need to align
  • 00:03:11
    with each other in term of the team but
  • 00:03:14
    sometime some people just not interested
  • 00:03:16
    to be a leader you know they more
  • 00:03:18
    comfortable to be be they more
  • 00:03:21
    comfortable for you to give them the
  • 00:03:23
    order and they follow it and as a leader
  • 00:03:26
    this is their job they have to aware
  • 00:03:30
    like for myself I have to aware that I
  • 00:03:32
    would love to work with other leader who
  • 00:03:36
    similar Vision similar value the mission
  • 00:03:41
    can be different because the way they
  • 00:03:43
    achieve the vision is made different but
  • 00:03:46
    like like you and me have similar thing
  • 00:03:48
    that we love to educate other and want
  • 00:03:51
    to support them in term of education and
  • 00:03:54
    that is something that I call Vision
  • 00:03:56
    similar right but the way of calling
  • 00:04:00
    achieve her goal and my way of achieve
  • 00:04:02
    my goal is different so it come from the
  • 00:04:05
    mission but value come back we still
  • 00:04:07
    Gman and we love to support another G
  • 00:04:09
    because we as a mom as well we want to
  • 00:04:11
    make sure the Next Generation have a a
  • 00:04:15
    right direction for the life right and
  • 00:04:17
    like I say this is come from leadership
  • 00:04:20
    Vision sit down together but now now we
  • 00:04:24
    talk about team member can they think
  • 00:04:26
    the same way of we think my answer is
  • 00:04:29
    I'm not not sure
  • 00:04:32
    because if they are and and this is so
  • 00:04:36
    hard true but people have to take it if
  • 00:04:38
    people think like how a leader think
  • 00:04:40
    they already open their own organization
  • 00:04:42
    they already lead their own team they
  • 00:04:44
    already create their own uh dream they
  • 00:04:47
    already create their own you know a
  • 00:04:50
    Empire and it's why it's hard and
  • 00:04:54
    difficult and why is only one to 2% of
  • 00:04:57
    the population can make it and can
  • 00:04:59
    success because of this a lot of
  • 00:05:01
    pressure outside and sometime they don't
  • 00:05:04
    want to go work or they don't want to
  • 00:05:06
    step up to the team with more pressure
  • 00:05:09
    right in their life they already have to
  • 00:05:10
    deal with family issue parent issue kid
  • 00:05:14
    issue brother sister friendship issue
  • 00:05:17
    and when they go to the organization for
  • 00:05:19
    work they just want to do a good job and
  • 00:05:22
    go home you know and and if as a leader
  • 00:05:25
    you add even more pressure on them by or
  • 00:05:27
    you need to have a vision you you need
  • 00:05:29
    to have a mission and then you need to
  • 00:05:31
    have a value come to work and then we
  • 00:05:33
    will work together with you I think we
  • 00:05:36
    will scare off a lot of people because a
  • 00:05:38
    lot people don't want to upset the truth
  • 00:05:40
    that it's not everybody like pressure
  • 00:05:42
    and in general people don't like
  • 00:05:44
    pressure look at how people cannot
  • 00:05:47
    discipline with their food they cannot
  • 00:05:49
    discipline with their exercise they
  • 00:05:50
    cannot discipline with they sleep or
  • 00:05:52
    their alcohol addiction so yeah it's is
  • 00:05:57
    the result Never Lie right and in
  • 00:05:59
    general that's what people looking for
  • 00:06:01
    they they want to be comfortable they
  • 00:06:03
    want to feel safe they want to feel
  • 00:06:05
    secure so as a leader I think that's is
  • 00:06:08
    the most important task you need to
  • 00:06:11
    remind yourself all the time that if
  • 00:06:14
    every team member going to thing like
  • 00:06:17
    you they already a leader they won't
  • 00:06:20
    depend on you yeah they won't depend on
  • 00:06:22
    you right they won't look up to you to
  • 00:06:24
    wait for direction and information and
  • 00:06:28
    and Confirmation to do certain thing so
